Does anyone know a source (Aftermarket or not) for the weather strip along the back of the tail gate window? I have the old stuff which is not too functional

All the good hobbies are expensive. But that's a really nice piece of rubber, it's made of superior stuff and fits really well. I got that same piece of rubber myself, maybe 20 years ago, I forget exactly. I never used any adhesive, just popped it in place with the side of my hand. It is aging very well, showing no sign of deterioration. My Pig is not garaged, or babied, but that rubber holds up. Will probably outlast the rest of the rig. Worth every penny and we're lucky they're there.

I have to ration myself. I'm working on the lower tailgate mechanics and weatherstrip; door hardware, regulator . . . I'll probably pick up the weather strip pretty soon. The rigs have been sitting for 20+ years so There's lots of problems. The roof is in pretty poor shape and I'm still debating how deep a hole I want to dig. If the project goes south, I'm hoping to recoup some by parting out what I can.
Props to @SLOCRUISER for making these!FJ55 TAILGATE WINDOW SEAL
